South Knighton, Devon

DESCRIPTION 

Luscombe Maye is delighted to bring to market Rock Cottage, a substantial detached country-home which sits in just shy of 2.5 acres of grounds. The home has been enjoyed by the current owner for nearly 20 years and boasts far-reaching views across Teignbridge countryside and out towards the coast at Teignmouth. Having undergone thoughtful extensions and additions over the years, the property has a self-contained two-bedroom annex, offering much versatility, whether you are looking for a multi-generational home, extra space for a growing/aging family or potential to generate some income.

A double aspect reception room enjoys the previously described views, and has doors opening onto a patio area and the rear garden, bringing the outside inside during the warmer months. This room also enjoys an inglenook fireplace with woodburner, which is preferable when the weather cools outside. There is a large opening leading into a separate dining room, which has sliding glass doors opening onto a sunroom. The well equipped kitchen with light-coloured cabinets and wooden worktop, has an integrated dishwasher, hob and oven with space for a fridge-freezer, and flows into a breakfast nook. Additional spaces include a utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a study and downstairs WC, plus there is a large and extremely useful storage area accessed from the utility room.

The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, with the main bedroom featuring an en-suite bath and shower room all whilst enjoying the magnificent views over the surrounding countryside and out to the sea. The remaining two double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom which also has a separate shower. 

The two-bedroom annex, which offers independent living can be accessed via it's own front door, ensuring privacy to the rest of the home, or if required is connected to the main house via an internal door from the breakfast nook. Stairs ascend to this area, which enjoys a dual-aspect open-plan kitchen-dining-living room with a South-facing balcony, two double bedrooms served by a shower room and a conservatory which opens onto part of the garden. The annex is ideal for visiting relatives, or perhaps teenage children wanting their own space. Furthermore, with the likes of Dartmoor being so close, the annex may be attractive to paying guests, looking for a short stay in a beautiful spot. 

Externally, the gardens are a highlight of the home and are fully stock fenced, with a large level lawn at the rear of the property which has diverse planting at the border. The rest of the outside space is gently sloping, with mature trees and a variety of plants providing colour throughout the year, all sitting within parts of the tiered garden design. In the Northern corner, at the top of the garden there is a further lawn area, where you can sit and enjoy more incredible views, as well as a feature granite rock face. The Easterly part of the garden is more dense with trees, bushes and wild flowers and there is a pleasant circular walk amongst this wooded area. Placed throughout the garden, are wooden sheds, plus there is a vegetable patch, berry cages and a greenhouse for all those gardening tools. 

At the front of the property there is ample driveway parking and a double garage with an electric up and over door, as well as a large workshop which has power and lighting. If any further seating area is required, aside from what is already on offer, there is a Westerly-facing patio area at the front of the property, which has plenty of room for outside dining table and chairs.
